Grace by which I stand

For the time being I have a 40 minute commute to and from work. Some mornings the drive is longer, depending on when I actually get on the road. Having some good music play while I'm driving really helps to break up the time.
Anyone who knows me well enough will know that I enjoy driving distances alone. The time gives me time to think, pray and listen to the Lord. Plus, I can't drive and talk at the same time...the teens from Bangor would know this better than anyone! haha. So for now I'm enjoying(for the most part)the drive from camp to Hartford.

One day last week I popped a Keith Green cd into the player on my way into the city. I love Keith's music and have mentioned in on many occasions on this blog. His music has inspired me in my walk with the Lord and this day was no different.
On the way home the song 'Rushing Wind' began to play, and like usual, I started singing along. About half way through the song, the tears started to flow and I thought to myself "this is my life song." This particular song is one that has been with me through so many times in my life; good and bad. I remember singing it in church when I was about 17, listening and being inspired by it when I was struggling through things in college, praising God through it when there was much joy in my life and praying through it when I have truly desired for Holy Spirit to blow through the temple of my being.
As I listened to the words last week, I saw Gods preveniant grace in my life. It was so apparent to me that God has been there with me through it all. Starting in my teens when I didn't know what Grace was, to today when I desire to soak in the Lords grace more and more everyday. This is the Grace by which I stand...

Rushing wind blow through this temple,
Blowing out the dust within,
Come and breathe your breath upon me,
I've been born again.

Holy Spirit, I surrender, take me where you want to go,
Plant me by your living water,
Plant me deep so I can grow.

Jesus, you’re the one, who sets my spirit free,
Use me Lord, glorify, your Holy Name through me.

Separate me from this world Lord.
Sanctify my life for you.
Daily change me to your image,
Help me bear good fruit.

Every day you're drawing closer.
Trials come to test my faith.
But when all is said and done Lord,
You know, it was worth the wait.

Jesus, you’re the one, who set my spirit free,
Use me Lord, glorify, your Holy Name through me.
Rushing wind blow through this temple,
Blowing out the dust within,
Come and breathe your breath upon me,
For I've been born again.


Blessings.
